Winter took its own sweet time loosening its grip on New York. Even now in early April, the days have been calling for warm coats and scarves.

But things took a dramatic turn for the better on Monday the 8th, as temps rose into the low 70s. Kids shed their coats more quickly than a snake sheds its skin, and winter-empty playgrounds came back to loud, joyous life.

Joining the fun were Tabitha and Marion Broderick, the three-year-old twin daughters of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. Dressed in light jumper dresses over pink long-sleeved T-shirts, they dashed down a residential street, stopping only long enough to play jungle gym on the decorative fences in front of the historic brownstones.

It was sheer springtime joy – and you’ll smile, too, when you see their photos!

Did you and your kids enjoy the outdoors today?

As fraternal twins, Tabitha and Marion don't look perfectly alike. Neither do their outfits. Both wear jumper dresses over pink long-sleeved shirts, but their individual style still shows.
